A Vienna underground station. Mobile workers on the move. Does movement make you mobile? In all events, this is a nice place to meet.

This film focuses on mobile “high-level professionals”. Employability increasingly depends on a high degree of geographical and temporal mobility. Mobility is becoming a key asset for the individual, and brings security in today’s fast-moving labour market. People who possess it have to be treated differently to those who are sure to stay put. In a truly mobile society businesses will be compelled to introduce mobility allowances: negative ones for those who are unwilling to move, and positive ones for mobile workers.

But is movement always the same thing as mobility? Or does less traffic mean more mobility? Parmenides said that there is Being, and Nothing does not exist; movement is impossible and hence a pure illusion.
